The prisoner's wife

Description:

As a favor for a friend, a bright and talented young woman volunteered to read her poetry to a group of prisoners during a Black History Month program. It was an encounter that would alter her life forever, because it was there, in the prison, that she would meet Rashid, the man who was to become her friend, her confidant, her husband, her lover, her soul mate. At the time, Rashid was serving a sentence of twenty years to life for his part in a murder. This book is a testimony, for wives and mothers, friends and families, a tribute to anyone who has ever chosen, against the odds, to love.--From publisher description.
